1. Executive Summary
This section provides a high-level overview of the security requirements analysis, presenting key findings, validation results, and an interactive dashboard for stakeholders and decision-makers. The executive summary enables rapid comprehension of the security posture, critical risks, control coverage, and compliance status without requiring detailed technical knowledge.
1.1. Purpose and Scope
Purpose
This document presents a comprehensive security requirements analysis for the proposed application, systematically mapping high-level business requirements to specific, actionable security controls aligned with multiple industry standards: OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS), NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5, and ISO 27001:2022. The analysis provides a complete security requirements specification that guides secure system design, implementation, and verification.
Scope
This analysis encompasses all functional requirements provided, delivering comprehensive coverage across multiple security domains:
- Requirements Analysis: Systematic decomposition and security-relevant extraction from business requirements
- Stakeholder Analysis: Identification of stakeholders, trust boundaries, and security responsibilities
- Threat Modeling: Systematic identification and assessment of security threats using STRIDE methodology
- Security Control Mapping: Mapping requirements to multi-standard security controls (OWASP ASVS, NIST SP 800-53, ISO 27001) with detailed implementation guidance
- Compliance Requirements: Identification of regulatory and legal compliance obligations
- Architectural Security: Security architecture recommendations and design patterns
- Implementation Planning: Prioritized, phased implementation roadmap
- Verification Strategies: Testing and validation approaches for security controls
The analysis provides both strategic guidance for security planning and tactical details for implementation teams.
1.2. Key Findings
This section summarizes the most critical results from the security requirements analysis, providing executives and stakeholders with immediate insight into the security posture and validation status.
Analysis Metrics
- Validation Score: 0.83/1.0
- Validation Status: ✅ Passed
- Analysis Iterations: 1
- Requirements Analyzed: 27
Application Summary
A web-based project management platform to plan, execute, and audit multi-layer infrastructure and cloud projects that enforces structured workflows, role-based access controls, per-VM network and access policies, collaboration and handover processes, automated file management for air-gapped environments, integrated notifications/monitoring, and manager-facing reporting to ensure accountability, traceability and safe operations across hybrid cloud and on-premises resources.
The validation score reflects the quality and completeness of the security requirements across five dimensions: completeness, consistency, correctness, implementability, and alignment with business objectives. A score of 0.8 or higher indicates that the requirements are ready for implementation, while scores below this threshold may require refinement before proceeding.
1.3. Security Overview Dashboard
This interactive dashboard provides executive-level visualization of key security metrics and trends, enabling rapid assessment of the security posture through intuitive charts and data visualizations. The dashboard presents critical information across multiple dimensions: risk distribution, security control coverage, compliance status, implementation progress, and data quality metrics. For optimal viewing experience, render this document with Quarto to enable interactive chart functionality, allowing stakeholders to explore data dynamically and drill down into specific areas of interest.
Top 5 Highest Risks:
THR-001 (Critical) - Frontend Layer - Category: Spoofing - Likelihood: 4 | Impact: 4 - Description: An attacker reuses stolen session tokens or forges authentication cookies to impersonate legitimate users (including Infra Admin) via stolen tokens from browser storage or network interception.
THR-002 (Critical) - Application Services (AuthZ & RBAC) - Category: Elevation of Privilege - Likelihood: 4 | Impact: 4 - Description: Broken access control or misconfigured RBAC allows a user (reader/user) to perform infra-admin or admin actions via API endpoints that lack authorization checks or use client-side enforcement only.
THR-005 (Critical) - Application Services (APIs) - Category: Information Disclosure - Likelihood: 4 | Impact: 4 - Description: APIs exposing sensitive data (VM access mappings, IP endpoints, firewall rules, handover documents) to unauthorized callers due to broken object-level authorization or verbose error messages.
THR-004 (High) - Frontend Layer / Application Services - Category: Tampering - Likelihood: 4 | Impact: 3 - Description: Client-side or API parameter tampering to alter layer sequencing or deadlines (e.g., adjusting JSON payload to mark prerequisite layer as ‘approved’ or change deadlines).
THR-018 (High) - Data Storage (Handover Documents) - Category: Information Disclosure - Likelihood: 4 | Impact: 3 - Description: Handover documents containing network diagrams, credentials, or internal IP addresses are stored or shared insecurely, exposing sensitive project topology.
